They're voting for the person they think will be best for the economy -- and that candidate usually turns out to be the winner.
If they vote for Romney it will be because they decided Romney will be the president who's best for their jobs, savings, and retirement plan, and Romney will win because he managed to convince those swing voters. People who boast that they voted for the winning candidate are pretty rare in the real world.
Some people have their convictions up front. Their beliefs are very important to them and determine how they'll vote well in advance. Other people aren't like that, but it would be misleading to say that they don't have any convictions. Maybe some of them don't, but for others, the issues elections are fought over don't reflect their deepest concerns, which might be awakened under other circumstances.
I don't have a problem with swing voters. For them the election is usually a referendum on competency. In theory, they hold candidates to a minimum standard of performance and accomplishment that more ideological voters don't. I don't know if it actually works out that way all the time in practice.
Agreed, but after the debate Monday night, regardless of how poorly the Fraud does, the polling will start indicating an “Obama comeback”. Obama will be laying out his plans for the next 4 years, refuting charges he’s only attacked Romney’s plans. It will be a pile of crap, most of which he will never initiate. But that doesn’t matter, all that will matter is that he produced a plan and the MSM will be trumping it all as the solution for the mess we are in.
It’s all so predictable, it’s pathetic. The MSM has the script already in place. Then there are certainly millions of bogus voter registrations in swing states waiting to be used by democraps.
All this Romney optimism is over-rated. In fact it may be a way to keep Romney voters from going to the polls, if they figure he’s way ahead, they don’t have to bother voting.
Expect another “ 47 %” moment from Romney to be released in the final week, before he has a chance to defuse it. The DNC has been sitting on something that will hurt Romney.
Yet here you are, at an Independent site when you could be at a republican site somewhere else.
